For some strange reason, i haven't got that icon anymore since i installed some software i'm beta testing at the moment (i'm under NDA, so can't say what it is for now)...
Anyway, to answer your question: modify the following registry entries:
Code:
Show Time,Date,both or Battery on top bar at Today screen
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\]
Time:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 / "TBOpt"=1
Date:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 / "TBOpt"=2
Both:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 / "TBOpt"=3
Nothing:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 / "TBOpt"=0
Battery:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=0 / "TBOpt"=1

Thank you!
I'll try it on my device.
Chris

do you also know the registry key to get one line for the date instead of two lines on the today screen?
thx!

thanks mate, have been searching for it, things like 'one line today date' or 'multiple date today' didn't came up with a reg key in this forum...so thanks!!

Wow I was looking for this for so long. But under WM6, it doesn't update the icons correctly when you disable it.. Any ideas?

search for kaiser tweak. has what you need.

the kaiser tweak is stickied on this forum...that will solve all your problems..

The following registry hack will replace the battery indicator with the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\ShowTitleBarClock = 1
(From this page.)

won't go away

i have tried all the reg hacks mentioned above as well as kaiser tweak.
kaiser tweak settings:
title bar - battery / clock [clock]
title bar - clock settings [nothing]
date display - single-line
registry settings:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\ShowTitleBarClock = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1
anyone have any idea what am i doing wrong?
thanks
Update:
ok, i must be stupid. previously the 'nothing' setting was forced whenever i chose 'clock'. i reset battery/clock to 'battery' and the clock settings to 'date' and it worked, i now have the time and no battery icon. not sure why choosing 'date' translates to time.

Battery icons

I have done this on an 8125 running wm6 and it works but not sure about your phone. Just delete the custom icon your not happy with and since the original icon is in the rom itself it will just pop back up with the original one.
Hope this helps

ok i'm stupid!
i cannot remove the battery icon and display only the clock on the top
I tried to change every possible setting but i'm either manage to display the clock and the battery or the battery only
How on earth i can display only the clock and remove the battery completely ??

"Great" do the following Regedit:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\]
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1
"TBOpt"=1
you may need to create a new DWORD value for "TBOpt"

what about removing the battery icon without changing the location of the clock.
is this possible?

Removal of Bluetooth Icon at top Task Bar

Anyone notice the annoying Bluetooth Icon located at the top Start bar?
It shows when you have BT turned on. The icon absolutely does nothing other than telling you that you have BT on, which is easily checked by going to Comm Manager!
It is a total waste of space and sometimes it conflicts with ur AD2P headphones logo.
This has never been on any other WM devices that I have had before.
I tried looking at the registry but no luck!
Anyone? Thx

no one cares or no one else find it annoying?

No it's easy, there are no led's on the diamond so i like it

I understand. But it somehow mixes with the AD2P Stereo icon and when there is a message or missed call, the icon will turn into the "notifier" icon. That means I have to click it before I know if I've got a sms or missed call!
Still no like? Can any of you pros give me a hand pls...

I have looked through the registry for many times but no luck still. someone help please...

haha, same with me - I used to have the icons (bt, headphones, etc) but now I don't have them anymore... I assume it happened after I installed S2U2?
I'm not pretty sure...

What is S2U2?
I have installed some software but i adviced the problem about the icon some day ago, the first time i switched on the BT.

I dont notice a conflict with any other icon, but its a shame that you cannot toggle the bluetooth status by tapping the icon. Its just an indicator (due to lack of LED light) that serves no other purpose.

Same here, I'm just missing the BT icon... and I can't get it back
I like to see when BT is on or off because I toggle the BT with long press on the answer key...
I can't remember when it got lost but I have S2U2 installed...
Any answers to the big question how to toggle the icon?

Restore Bluetooth Icon Help Please
Could it be that one of the tweak apps that we have all installed has removed this icon. But which one and how? I miss it, as I want to know if I've left BT on my mistake, to preserve battery life.

Mine has disappeared too and I want it back. Also installed S2U2 as well as a couple of other tweaks. Not quite sure when it went missing though.

Have you disabled the phone skin or are you using a custom rom with the phone skin disabled ? If yes you loose the BT icon.

Yes, I did disable the skin. Turned it back on and the BT symbol is back again. Thanks for that
Seems a bit daft that the BT symbol would be linked to the phone skin though.

Problem solved, well done!

how to activate phone skin? =/

I dont think the headset and bluetooth icons are conflicting, more that it's showing that you have a headset connected via bluetooth (the bluetooth icon is inside the headset one).
I personally don't mind it but it would be nice to at least have the option to hide it.

heh, some like the icon, some hate the icon....
i find it annoying. even though it's nice to know whether bt is on or off, there's just too little space up there. and if you have reminders or new sms, those things get bundled into one "notification" icon, which you need to click to see what's hiding there... and that's the annoying part

I'd prefer to hide the new message / missed cal icons, as they are already on the TF3D today screen, and I never click on those icons. This way we could keep the bluetooth and AD2P icons. The task bar should be only for "system" icons

Anyone found a way to have the Bluetooth & Headset icons visible even after disabling the HTC Dialer Skin?

Click on icons from top bar (connection, battery...) brings up fullscreen version

Sorry for the confusing title, but I don't have idea how to describe what I mean.
In the default rom, when I clicked on the top bar in tf3d where the icons with battery status, network status or appointment are, it brought up a fullscreen something (similar to volume screens) with big icons for battery status, network, appointment and so on. Than I tried a few versions of RomeOS, I don't know which versions had that working, but it doesn't work in current version. I think it's one of the cabs that can be downloaded for RomeOS, but I don't have idea which one is it.
Does anyone know?
Thank you.

There's a registry key that enables it i believe, not sure where though

Start -> Settings -> System Tab -> TouchFlo
Check box for showing system status.

Thanks, it would be great if someone knows which key it is.

JoeTheFro - thanks, when I was posting my post above, I didn't see yours. That worked, thanks again.

Ah my bad. I think I was referring to how you change from the classic volume control to the big HTC one. I remember now though

SOS !!! 3G icon has been changed !!

After ''playing'' with some windows files my 3G icon (start menu bar) has been vanished! And in its place there is a V icon (see pic)
How can i see again my 3G icon? (when i am trying to connect through wi-fi it works ok - but the icon remains..)
Any ideas??

ok i fixed it...

May I know how did you fixed it? I had a same problem last time and had to HR my mobile.
Thanks

Switch between 2g and 3g

Is there an app or something that allows me to switch between 2g and 3g networks? I have a widget which takes me directly to the settings but I would love an app that I could use instead. Especially something that could for instance switch automatically on location change using something like locale or Settings Profile.
I am rooted if that helps.
Thanks

Needn´t app.On screen dial you type *#*#4636#*#*,and switch it in there

right on, but isn't there a "beautiful" widget or something similar that simply toggles between the two?

here is one i use
2G-3G OnOff

Thanks for the replies, but it's not quite what I am looking for. I already use the widget ghostrida suggests, but really I want a way to either change it directly from the home screen or even better a way to change it using locale or something similar so when I get home and am on WiFi, the phone will automatically switch to 2g networks saving my battery - especially as I have poor 3g reception at home.
Thanks

I dont believe it is allowed any longer in the android sdk due to security issues. I could be wrong though I know a lot of the settings where moved to a secured section.

What you could do is create a contact with the number mentioned above and add it to your homescreen as a widget. If you want to get really in depth with it, you could add a picture of something that would signify edge for you (i.e. a 2g icon or something) and it would show up like that on your homescreen.

Setting it as a contact doesn't work, ive tried that before.
closest solution is an app in the market known as phone info

I use an app c alled switch network type 2g/3g it's not quite what you're looking for, but instead of being a widget it shows up in the notification bar only when you drag it down. it doesn't automatically change it for you, but it also doesn't take up a spot on your homescreen and it's available anywhere the notification bar shows up.
